Arts Research at Georgia Tech

At Georgia Tech, the arts are a catalyst for discovery and innovation. Through collaborative research, creative experimentation, and partnerships across disciplines, we explore new ways to connect technology and the arts. From pioneering projects in music technology and interactive design to community-engaged performances and exhibitions, Georgia Tech Arts is shaping the future of creative practice.

Creating new knowledge and pushing artistic boundaries is central to the arts at Georgia Tech. We champion discovery, artistic expression, and collaboration that fosters innovation — especially at the intersection of the arts and technology.

Through interdisciplinary research across campus and partnerships with artists-in-residence, the creative industries, and arts organizations in Atlanta and beyond, Georgia Tech Arts advances creative inquiry that sparks new ideas and inspires change.

We also support our campus community through GT Arts Catalyst Grants for faculty and staff and GT Arts Microgrants for students, fostering innovation and infusing campus with a spirit of creativity.
